Imagine you are standing in front of a vending machine filled with snacks. Each snack has a number below it. You simply press the number of the snack you want, and the machine gives it to you. This is a lot like how a switch statement works in JavaScript. You have a single value (like the number you press), and the code chooses the right action based on that value. Instead of checking every possibility with a long chain of if...else if statements, you can use a switch to make your code clearer and easier to read.

// Choose a snack based on the selected number
let snackNumber = 2;
let snack;

switch (snackNumber) {
  case 1:
    snack = "Chips";
    break;
  case 2:
    snack = "Chocolate Bar";
    break;
  case 3:
    snack = "Granola Bar";
    break;
  default:
    snack = "Unknown snack";
}

console.log("You chose: " + snack);
